We believe the best learning occurs… • when positive relationships form the foundation for learning; • when students engage in high-level learning and access appropriate support; • when students have an active role in their learning and in the school community; • in a culture of collaboration; • when students and teachers extend their learning beyond the school; • in an environment of creativity and innovation.

Hunger and food insecurity impacts people in our own communities and around the world. Students at Yarmouth High School will learn about the issues of hunger, and develop projects that can make a difference. Projects are open-ended. There is no one pathway for making a difference. Through the work, students will:  Collaborate with peers and adults  Plan and implement a long-term project  Engage in discourse around social change  Model Yarmouth Core Values including caring and citizenship:  Caring - Caring people show concern for the wellbeing of themselves, others and the environment.  Citizenship - Responsible citizens contribute to the community locally and globally in active, positive, and creative ways and encourage the participation of others through cooperation and contribution.
